We have some good people who insist
that when the preacher or lecturer expresses
their views all others should take it good
nsturedly on the ground that the speaker
utterS his coI,rirtiOns. But We notice that
when the preacher or lecturer differs from
their views, these same good people are
far from setting an example of good nature.
1t is wonderful the difference IL makes
when the shoe gets on the other foot.

The European War Cloud.

Denials and contradictions have
rained thick in Europe since the Lon.
don Daily Neaos published eight lines,
pre- dieting war between France and
Germany. They have convinced no
one. Out of all the assertions, certain
facts appear clear. Germany is max
ing all the preparations necessary to
deal France sudden blow, the French
military authorities are hard at work
preparing resistance. In Berlin, Paris
and London, insiders believing hat the
declaration OF war will take shape in a
sudden insulting demand by Germany
for the disarmament of France. To
>uch demand, war will be the only
possible answer.
For all the clamor of contradiction,
these distinct dttinte impressions are
a vast advance in the expectance of
lmminen. war over the vague appre-
tensions OF month or six weeks ago.
1t still remains as true as ever that The
issues of peace and war are so COM
pletely in the hands of two or three
old men at Berlin that no one else can
say whether the Spring of 1887 will
zee the greatest war or only the great
est scare of modern history but it is
also true that the impressions radiat-
ing from the Kaiser, his great General
and his greater Minister steadily con-
verge towards war. War may not
come-it is hard to believe that It will;
nut it is plain that the Emperor, Bis
marck and Won Moltke prefer to have
the world believe that war is certain.
OF this fact there is now no reason.
able doubt that it alone greatly in
creases the prospect of hostilites This
impression, 1t is true, may, by leading
to sudden serious change in French
politics. avert war, and it NAV be set
IN motion for this purpose. 1t has
been for some time PLAIN that General
boulanger was playing upon the nat
lonal desire for revenge until he was
likely TO bring himself to the danger
Gus point where war would be neces-
atty to maintain his personal predom-
nance. There are already signs that
Soberer men in French affairs are unit
ing to curb his pretensions aud over
throw the Ministry of which he is to-
day the only conspicuous member. The
chances OF present peace would be
greatly increased by such an event,
and it would probably be accepted by
all Europe as proving that France had
fought her last great war for many
years TO come.
But the sombre belief which op-
presses Europe is the conviction that
the aged men who rule Germany in
tend to crush France before they die
and it they do, no one dreams that any
motive will turn this iron handed tri-
umyirate aside from the path of war
